241211 How Did I Get Here?

 How Did I Get Here?

How did I get here? I don't know 
Seems sometimes fast, other times slow
Though does not matter what the pace
Still wonder how I reached this place 

How am I at this point in time
Reality of its sublime
For most of journey was uphill
Through hard fought land, yet I'm here still

How did I get from there to here
In baby steps, year after year
Know sometimes how I reached this place
Was through tremendous leaps of faith

But other times through missteps went
To places that I never meant
Through valleys deep or forests dark
Through turbulent waters full of shark

Yet, oh so many times I've found
That when I stop to look around 
The sun is shining on my face
And I am in a lovely place

A place with lush, green, rolling hills
With irises and daffodils 
A place of rest, peace, and beauty 
Exactly where I want to be

I've found as I trek on my way
Sometimes have both in the same day
Day can begin as walk in park
Then suddenly turn very dark
Or start out with a sense of dread
But end with loveliness instead

No matter how reached where I am
Through easy roads or traffic jam
There's one thing I am certain of
I'm always guided from above

Yes, God has always been my guide
Jesus with me, Spirit inside
And even when I get off track
My Lord will always lead me back

Teaching me lessons 'long the way
Molding me gently every day 
Knowing I'm where I'm supposed to be 
On my way to eternity 

So, as I keep on journeying
No matter what each day does bring
I praise God for each one so dear
Knowing that he has put me here

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...

240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It Don't really want to put self through it And so I'll just let others do it I'm certain it's too hard for me Sure others can more easily  Don't want to put the effort in Thus, wait for others to begin Not my responsibility  So, really don't depend on me No interest in taking the lead So, wait for others to proceed Though help is needed for a task Don't have the time, so please don't ask Need someone to sit on committee  Look anywhere, but don't look at me I have no interest in the least Besides, don't have the expertise  Ever notice when there's work to do It's often left to just a few The others somehow must be lead Or they'll just stand around instead Perhaps they are a lazy lot  That might be true, but it might not For certainly, there's those that shirk Responsibility and work For some, it's lack of confidence  So initiating makes them tense A fear that they may not succeed Disables them, so don't proce...
